Lien on property

[Milton F.]

Hi BP, I'm in the process of purchasing a property and the seller has an $8,000 lien on property. Seller thought they could pay the lien off as part of their closing cost, but according to title company they need to pay the lien first before we close. Should I pay the lien and subtract that amount from the sales price or how would you guys handle this situation? Thanks for the help
